Carta geografica che illustra parte della costa nord occidentale americana dalla California fino all'Alaska e parte della costa nord orientale asiatica da Macao fino allo stretto di Bering. La carta presenta margine graduato, reticolo geografico ed indica le rotte seguite dalle fregate "Boussolle" e "Astrolabe". L'incisione venne realizzata per illustrare la prima edizione francese dell'Atlante del Viaggio di Laperouse ed infatti nell'angolo in alto a destra si legge "Atlas du Voyage de la Perouse N° 15". Il nostro esemplare è nel secondo stato di due. Infatti il Depot de la Marine francese editò nuovamente la carta con l'aagiunta nell'angolo in alto a destra di "N.° 288 (2) e del prezzo nell'angolo in basso a destra vendendo la carta come foglio singolo. La stessa venne utilizzata anche per la realizzazione del "Neptune des Cotes Occidentales d'Amerique sur le Grand Ocean" del 1828. Esemplare nel secondo stato di due. Ampi margini ed ottimo stato di conservazione generale
